Drones & Real Estate: A Beginner’s Guide

For both commercial and residential real estate agents, proper visual marketing can be the difference between a closed listing and a lost opportunity. Leveraging drone photography enhances the listing’s overall presentation and effectively shows a property in real context: a sweeping aerial of a property’s surrounding neighborhood just might be the trigger a passive buyer needs to become more serious about your listing.

Drone-captured photography is making it easier than ever to sell listings - but admittedly, the space can seem confusing for drone novices. If you’re working in real estate and aren’t sure where to start with drone technology, you’re not alone! The good news? You don’t have to be a tech expert to reap the benefits of aerial imagery for your business.

If you consider yourself a “beginner” when it comes to aerial imagery, here are the most important things to know about using drones for real estate photography:
